I did a lot of searching throughout the internet and could not come up with any good pics of a Glass Scale quill DRO.
I wanted to mount it out of the way behind the quill handles.
I realized that the quill has some slop in it, and my first attempt was a failure.
Since the glass scale readhead has a floating quality to it, the mount for it must be completely ridgid.
My solution for this problem was to make a railway attached to the scale in which the readhead would ride on. This would make the Scale and the mount for the readhead one unit.
Here are the pics.
I used some thin brass strips to connect the readhead to the quill. This will give me the necessary flexability for the rotary slop in the quill.
Thats the way I did it.
